Until the evening, the great elder was still in shock.
When Zhang Hao sent someone to invite him to the dinner in the evening, the great elder had just come out of the power plant.
For the first time, the great elder knew clearly that the 'Heavenly Tribulation' had been tamed and was now serving mankind. Looking at the bright lights on the roadside in the evening and the dreamy, brightly lit high-rise buildings, the great elder felt a little agitated.
Crazy.
The team arrived at the banquet hall of the Blue Ocean Hotel headquarters. The Great Elder met with the senior management of Dayang Group, representatives of Qixia Country, Yin Hong and related personnel arranged by the Queen to be here in Ninghe City.
The drinks were filled first, and Zhang Hao talked eloquently: "Great Elder, please. First of all, please taste the 'Bailing Wine' brewed by Xinglin Hall in recent years. This wine is made from the inland sea, the outer sea, the fertile continent, and the Tao River."
A total of hundreds of elixirs are brewed in Tuzhizhou, Kunlunzhou, Chengtuzhizhou and other places. Finally, they are distilled and blended.
The medicinal effect is equivalent to that of Huaying Dan, but for practitioners above Nascent Soul level, this wine is equally effective and delicious."
The elder took a gentle sip and felt a stream of clear spring flowing into his body, and the seven orifices were suddenly unobstructed. However, the next moment, the clear spring became warm and moist, as if nourishing the body; then it became hot again, an indescribable fire burst out, and the body was secretly injured.
Wait until there is a dull pain.
Then, the effect of the medicine suddenly concentrated on the hidden wound; a little warm breath spread out of the body again. However, because I only took a small sip, the effect of the medicine passed quickly. But even so, the elder was extremely surprised.
Spiritual wine can actually do this?
I lowered my head and looked at the contents in the cup. It was clear and transparent, like a spiritual spring. Only a little bit of spiritual energy flashed on the surface, like a faint mist under the sun, with a little colored light flowing. A little bit of faint, mellow fragrance was floating quietly.
The great elder couldn't help but take another sip, this time drinking almost three times the amount of the last time. Then the great elder clearly saw that the hidden wounds in his body were stimulated and emerged, and were nourished by the medicinal effect of the spirit wine.
The reason why hidden injuries are hidden injuries is because they are invisible. This thing is like metal fatigue. Its appearance is difficult to observe directly. Until it finally explodes, many cultivators have suffered such a loss. Once the hidden injuries occur, they can become ordinary at best.
The pain can be fatal in severe cases!
At this time, hidden injuries break out, but people can repair them one by one. For practitioners, it is easy to repair hidden injuries because hidden injuries are often not big. What is difficult is to find hidden injuries.
The great elder felt it and couldn't help but admire: "It's very good. We also have some medicinal wine that can detect hidden wounds, but the effect is far less than this."
"Then when the great elder leaves, I will have someone prepare some."
"Thank you then!" The Great Elder was also polite. Such spiritual wine must not be cheap, and the output is limited. Since someone wants to give it to you, how can you refuse~
Then Zhang Hao continued to drink, or "show off". At this dinner, the drinks, dishes, etc. came from several continents, as well as the inland sea, the outer sea, the tropical sea in the south, the frigid sea in the north, etc.
There are many things flying in the sky, running on the ground, and swimming in the sea. There are more than two hundred dishes!
This is showing off!
The Great Elder was shocked, but acted very calmly. He knew very well that the negotiations had actually begun. And the Great Elder also used this to infer the true background of Dayang Group, so that he could take some initiative in the subsequent real negotiations.
The dinner lasted until 22 o'clock in the evening. The elder followed the tour guide arranged by Zhang Hao and came to the VIP suite of the Blue Horizon Hotel to rest.
But this night, the Great Elder was destined to be unable to sleep. He was in the suite, discussing with his staff. The shock along the way, especially what they visited during the day, made them a little confused about this world, which was so strange and strange.
Imagine!
Industry and commerce, a name that is not unfamiliar, appears in front of me in a completely unfamiliar way.
At the same time, Zhang Hao and others did not rest. Zhang Hao also called the people on the battleship together and took the senior executives of Dayang Group to listen to their stories.
Zhao Ke said:
After crossing the Fairy Mountain, they sailed for another 10 days before discovering a relatively large island. The island was about a hundred kilometers in diameter, or two hundred miles in radius, and was almost four times the size of Black Scale Island.
The locals call this island the ‘Sunrise Island’ because it is the easternmost land of the Candle Dragon Continent. However, Zhao Ke named (translated) the island as ‘Dongji Island’ on the chart.
There are a few locals on this island. According to the surrendered prisoners of the Candle Dragon Continent on the Twilight Fleet, after arriving at Dongji Island, about 10,000 miles further west, you will reach the Candle Dragon Continent.
Although it is said that it is thousands of miles, it is actually only about four thousand kilometers. Because the fleet sailed westward at a speed of 110 kilometers for about a day and a half, it arrived at a place called "Haiyun Kingdom". This is the Zhulong Continent and Dongfang Cangzhou.
the location of.
After docking, the fleet sailed south along the coast and found a port called 'Izumo Port'. One can imagine the shock to the local area when hundreds of steel warships suddenly appeared at the shipping port.
!
To understand the shock brought by the Steel Fleet, you need to understand the overview of the Candle Dragon Continent.
The Zhulong Continent as a whole is more than 70,000 miles wide, and its overall area is almost two and a half times the size of the Fertile Continent. It is indeed not small.
However, the Zhulong Continent is not a complete landmass, but is composed of three "small continents", each of which is about 30,000 miles away. In fact, the entire Zhulong Continent is a super island cluster.
There are rivers crisscrossing the island and the land is fertile.
Under such an environment, it is conceivable that the internal shipping in Zhulong Continent has developed. Most of its exchanges, commerce, etc. are solved through shipping. There are more ships than horse-drawn carriages.
And because the inland sea of Zhulong Continent is calm, most people live in the internal coastal areas, flat areas; and in the north and south of Zhulong Continent, because the environment is not very good, there are very few residents, and most of the areas maintain the original ecology. This is also the reason why Zhulong Continent maintains its original ecology.
The origin of the continental beast soldiers.
However, precisely because the internal environment of Zhulong Continent is good, there are very few large ships, and small boats are more popular. The industrial foundation is insufficient, so building large ships is a loss.
And because the main settlement area of Candle Dragon Island is in the interior, the outer periphery is not developed. The Izumo Port is a bit popular because it is the mouth of the 'Kinryujiang River', but there are very few large ships, most of which are tens of meters, or even
Smaller ships.
Now hundreds of steel battleships suddenly appeared, causing Izumo Port to boil in an instant.
Because of Zhang Hao's instructions, Zhao Ke and others did not show up forcefully, but sent envoys to communicate that we are from the Fertile Continent, 150,000 miles away from here, and we are here for trade!
Yes, the external saying is ‘come for trade’.
One can imagine what impact the news of the fleet's appearance would have on the world: It turns out there is a world outside, and it is so powerful!
The fleet alarmed the Haiyun Kingdom. On the one hand, the Haiyun Kingdom contacted the fleet, and on the other hand, it reported the situation here to the Holy Land directly under the Haiyun Kingdom, which was the Zhenwu Sect.
On the sixth day, the great elder of the Zhenwu Sect appeared.
Seeing the great elder of the Zhenwu Sect, everyone was a little nervous at first and prepared for a full-scale war. Unexpectedly, the great elder boarded the battleship alone to negotiate. What happened after that went smoothly beyond imagination.
Nowadays, the Atlantic Group has peacefully purchased the 'Dongji Island' at the cost of a steel warship, turning Dongji Island into the Atlantic Group's ocean base. Most of the warships that have not returned today are on the Dongji Island; some of them have gone out for exchanges.
went.
The commodities carried by the fleet will also be sold out, and a large number of items are exchanged from the Candle Dragon Continent. They are now in the battleships. They are currently being counted and will be distributed according to the shares of each company in the Atlantic Group.
.
After explaining the cause and effect, Zhang Hao knew it well. This great elder of the Zhenwu Sect was by no means an ordinary wise man.
But Zhao Ke immediately took out another piece of information, a map to be exact. "Mr. Zhang, this is a map we received in Zhulong Continent. We spent almost half a month on this thing.
In the end, I purchased it from someone from the 'Canglong Sect'."
"Canglong Sect?" Zhang Hao was keenly aware of this name.
"The Canglong Sect is another holy place on the Zhulong Continent, which is diametrically opposed to the Zhenwu Sect.
In Zhenwu Cult, those who practice are beast soldiers, which are living monsters. The practitioners and monsters fight together.
The Canglong Sect practices 'soul weapons', which are dead monsters. The practitioners of the Canglong Sect will refine the entire monster into something similar to our magic weapon, and then extract the soul of the monster and re-create it.
Inject soul soldiers.
Generally speaking, one person in Zhenwu Cult can only have one beast soldier; but one person in Canglong Cult can have many soul soldiers!
The conflict between the two holy places is very fierce, because the Canglong Sect needs to hunt and kill monsters, and they cannot breed too many of them, so they can only plunder them. And the beast soldiers of the Zhenwu Sect are within their plundering range!"
Suddenly a light flashed in Zhang Hao's eyes!
The Zhenwu Sect and the Canglong Sect are very similar to agricultural civilization and nomadic civilization! So in this way, the reason why the great elders of the Zhenwu Sect cooperate is probably for other reasons!
Also, in the previous battle for the Immortal Mountain, the Zhenwu Sect suffered heavy casualties. I'm afraid that now the Zhenwu Sect is facing huge pressure from the Canglong Sect, so it has to be like this.
Zhang Hao asked, and Zhao Ke thought for a while and said, "It seems to be true. It is said that the people of Canglong Sect have been quite rampant recently.
By the way, Canglong Sect also seems to have a sacred mountain, which is called ‘Canglong Mountain’ in the west of Zhulong Continent!”
Zhang Hao nodded. It doesn't matter if there is another fairy mountain here in Canglong Sect. There are 36 fairy mountains in total. And the next goal of the Fairy Mountain Exploration Group is "Fanghu Mountain".
Well, the most important thing for the moment is the negotiation with Zhulongzhizhou. Zhang Hao read all the details and it was already dawn the next day.
Standing on top of the building, looking at the white fish belly in the east, Zhang Hao took a deep breath. Negotiations are about to begin, and the colonial era is about to begin!
